Advantages of side channel air blowers

01 December, 2015

The pressure generated by side channel blowers is relatively low compared to rotary vane and reciprocating compressors, but it is sufficient for many applications. For greater compression, two- and three-stage design side channel blowers can be used.

Uses

Because they are robust, reliable and economic, side channel blowers have been used in many application areas. For instance, they are used in fume extraction, as well as cooling and drying in many different industries. They are also commonly used to drive air knives, which produce a high intensity, uniform laminar airflow for blowing liquid and/or debris from products. In waste recycling they can separate lighter materials from heavy ones by blowing them into a different process line.

In water treatment plants, they are often deployed to aerate water by blowing air into it via a membrane diffuser, which serves to regulate the size of the bubbles, (the smaller the bubbles, the greater the amount of water that comes into contact with the air). Similar techniques can be used in chemical engineering processes and, on a smaller scale, in laboratory applications.

These versatile blowers are regularly used for pneumatic conveying, vacuum holding of work pieces in CNC machines and vacuum lifting of items such as sacks of vegetables.
